Would calling resorts around the area and asking for rates for the weekend of June 25th (week before rumored dates) and the 2nd be of any help? Would they raise the prices any? I guess you could account for a price increase due to it being a holiday, but would they also think about increasing because of alpine weekend? Just a thought....

They'll jack the prices up on you once the dates are announced anyway. We stayed at the Alpine Resort last year and booked before the dates were announced for $110 for Saturday night and $89 for Sunday night. Then they announced the shows and the price more than doubled. Nothing we could really do, the place is in demand that weekend and if we wouldn't pay it, someone else would.
We are debating whether to stay there again - on one hand the convenience factor was awesome, just having to walk up that little path and walk in the venue right next to the pavillion, beer stands and bathrooms was AWESOME, as was not having to wait in the lots for 2-3 hours to get out.
On the negative side, the hotel itself is a fucking DUMP of epic proportions, and the tailgating the hotel lot, while fun, was not as cool of an atmosphere as the regular lots and they don't allow you to grill.
